4 small old gray donkey passed through
the city yesterday by express consigned TO
Mrs. J. b. Ward, Forest Grove. A notice
on the side Of the crate informed the curl
GUS that the animals name was John kel-
logg, and that it was the property Of Mr..
y. :. Kellogg, with whom II shares the
honor Of discovering the Bunker Hill
mine. the richest mineral lode of the west
The story goes that the patient. faithful
animal has shared with his master the
tolls Of prospecting for many years, pack
ing his bacon and beans, his pick and
shovel and all his other belongings; sus-
tanning himself on bacon gllnnies, tin cans
and what odds and ends and crusts his
kind master could provide, eked out by
any vegetation which came to hand-or
rather TO mouth. While prospecting in
the Wardner hills Mr.. Kellogg one day
sat down TO eat his luncheon, and the
burro. probably tired Of his wandering,
unsettled course of life, began 10 paw
away the snow and uncovered a cropping
Of mineral Mr.. Kellogg wiped his lips,
took out his pick. and the rich discovery
of the Bunker Hill was made and his
homestead secured. Like a thoughtful,
kind hearted man, he determined his
faithful burru should share his good luck.
and SO he sent the animal all the way by
express 10 Forest Grove, there TO revel i'll
clover all the remainder OF his days. The
little animal, rs 1t stood i'll Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S yard yesterday, attracted much
attention. He had gorged himself on oats
and stood in the shade the picture of con
tent, carelessly Ticking fly off his runIp
with one ear and another from his fetlock
with the other. The hair was all worn
off his back, and he looked rough and
haggard, but he earned his rest.--Port

Youth and Health,

Each period of life has its own eXpost res
and its own morbid tendencies In the
case of the old however vigorous the con-
stitntion. the physical machinery sooner
or LATER stops from its inevitable wear,
II can no more run forever Than clock
can, though IL has within itself a wonder
full. Yet limited. power OF self repair. Old
age has also tendencies To arterial degen-
Grafton beyond those Of any other period
of life
The exposures Of middle life are due
mainly to eXceSsos-in food. pleasure,
care aud anxiety, OF in work of brain or
muscle. There ought to DE few deaths
within this period
But youth, including childhood and in
fancy, has more liabilities than both the
above periods combined. Within il much
more than half the race die Even in
some communities where the laws Ut
health arc best understood, One-third Of
all who are born fail Ia pass their fifth
year Much of this mortality, however,
Is due, not so much TO the necessary fatal
ity Of childish disorders as 10 the igno-
rance uf mothers and nurses and to in
herited weakness
Teething effects n dangerous disturb
ance of the system, especially of the
stomach, bowels and brain. Extreme
heat. which, TO adults, is mainly dis
comfort. renders the child greatly liable
To dysentery and cholera infantum,
Since no safe substitute has yet been
found for the natural milk, and many
mothers either cannot or will not nurse
their children. multitudes Of infants lose
their lives from lack Of the proper nour
ishment
Children have u special susceptibility TO
many infectious diseases; measles, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria.
This susceptibility, except in the case Of
diphtheria, is largely lost after the age
of II OF IS,
In youth the recuperat!ve tendency is
strong: hence, sinful indulgences seem
harmless: but the harm is merely out Of
sight. for it really affects the very center
of life-the brain and the nervous system
The effect Of tobacco On the heart is fear
full, and all similar habits arrest growth
and the hest development. Such habits
are far more dangerous on youth, in their
physical consequences and effects, than in
mature years, although bad habit tends
to ruin in every period of life.-Iouth's

A RACING STABLE.
What 1t Costs T." Mount and Hun an
Embellishments,

What 1t Costs T." Mount and Hun an
Establishment,
For centuries past racing has been
styled a royal pastimc. and "A right costly
one it is at that, When, at the close Of
season, the statement ismade that GER
tain stable has captured 100000 in
stakes and purses, the Idea prevails that
Of all the methods uf gaining money this
must be the most delightful and exciting
of its class But ~ the French axiom
runs. there is reverse side TO the picture,
and in many cases with somber colors,
owing 10 the vast sums that are required
to carry on large establishment Of
thoroughbreds. Neither in Europe nor in
this country can q case be mentioned
where racing has yielded handsome re-
turns when established on a grand scale
and when entries are made in the prnci-
pal stakes and purses throughout the
country. This Is the reason why the
owners Of such establishments are often
obliged 10 back their horses in the books
in order 10 balance their acrpunts at the
end Of the season,
Lord Falmouth, who is now the largest
winner on the English turf, has often re-
marked that the keeping of more than Il
dozen horses III training simply meant
money thrown away. and large stables in
this country invariably met with the same
experience.
Owing to the keen competition for
thoroughhreds of high degree, the first
cost of mounting an establishment is u
very important item in the required eN-
penditurr, running on an average from
81, 800 to $4,000 a head as yearlings. Next
come the training expenses. about -
week, Jockeys fees from SIG, 900 to S1j,
600 year; then the entries tn various
stakes at all the racing cepters, and last
ly, the travelling expenses, which are very
heavy especially for stables that are win
tered on this coast.
Il is thus safe TO say that such racing
establishments rs those of Haggin or the
Dwyer Brothers cost annually from xn
600 TO 800 600, counting merely the in
tcrest ON the money expended! in the pur-
chase of stock.
There Is also constant danger from
epidemic diseases in IA large establish
ment, Us one horse suffering from cold OF
influenza will often give the complaint to
all his stable companions. and this, in the
midst Of a campaign, means almost an ir
reparahie los.r Then, from some un-
known cause, IA stable gets ont OF luck
and form, and not Il horse can lie brought
20 the post in proper condition.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The various range associations here re-
Gently imported from Colorado a lot OF
stag hounds which were recommended as
excellent wolt exterminatars. and they
are more than pleased with their invest
ment. The dogs get away with more
wolves than the same number Of men
armed with WinChesters could. Wolves
have been very numerous in all this sec
ton for some time, and have lessened the
profits Of stock men materially by killing
sheep and calves When the hounds ar
rived they were kept in confinement tor
awhile and then they were turned loose.
Six Of them went with one party of men
out on the range, AMI in less than two
hours they had twelve wolves at bay
The fight that eventually occurred Is de
scribed by eyewitnesses IS most interest
ing,
The dogs appear to work on an under
standing, and their movements indicate as
much intelligence rs human beings would
exhibit. Hunting in couples, they inva-
riably bring down their game. One OF
them will seize wolf by the neck and
throw him twenty feet in the air before
he knows what ails him, and when he
comes down the other grabs him and pulls
him limb from limb. In the big nght
spoken Of this plan WAS followed by the
dogs, who went nj il like veterans, and
they had finished nine Of the wolves when
the others turned tail and got away.
Every day now when the ranehers want a
little fun they take the dogs out, and it is
not long before wolf is scared up. The
hounds are fed On corn bread and butter
milk, and the only taste Of flesh that they
get is when they nip wolf-Montana
